In its first update since 2021, the CDC now has rescinded its former guidance which informed that five days of isolation after a "positive" test result is no longer necessary.
The new guidance tells people to stay home if they are sick, but when they are feeling better and have been fever-free for 24 hours, they can return to school or work.
...Prior to Friday’s update, the CDC called for people who test positive for the virus to "stay home for at least five days and isolate from others in your home," a recommendation that was implemented in late 2021.
At the start of the pandemic, the agency had recommended a 10-day isolation period for people who tested positive for the virus.
So, in other words, ... treat it like the flu... which magically was eradicated during the COVID epidemic.
Needless to say, the article goes on to recommend vaccination, as a means to "lessen the severity" of the illness.
